• PINK LADY APPLES!Seriously, these things are like candy. Like Sweet-Tarts candy. Apparently they're some kind of unholy hybrid union between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams varieties that are crunchy, sour, and sweet all at the same time. They're expensive, but so totally worth it. Just. Can't. Get. Enough.

• FROSTED FLAKES!I am kind of going through a Frosted Flakes Renaissance. I eat these things for breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, snacks, and also use them as a delicious way to exfoliate my skin. Just like Tony the Tiger says... they're grrreat!

• CHEESE TOASTWICHES!Schwan's makes a lot of delicious frozen foods, but their Cheese Toastwiches are to die for. I've never been addicted to crack cocaine, but I'd imagine it's much like this. I frickin' DREAM about eating Cheese Toastwiches! Crispy crunchy on the outside... gooey cheesy on the inside. It's everything good in life combined into a toastable snack! Unfortunately, they are horribly unhealthy with 11g of fat, 5g of saturated fat, 20mg of cholesterol, and 490mg of sodium. Yikes. The good news is that they taste so good you won't mind that they're killing you! Helpful cooking hint: cook one cycle with the toaster set on medium-high, then WAIT 5 to 10 minutes to completely thaw, then toast another cycle (toaster setting may vary).

• CRAISINS!I've never been much of a cranberry fan. Except for cranberry jelly at Thanksgiving. And cranberry juice mixed with vodka. And maybe cranberry jellybeans. But anyway... I first ate Craisins at the Hard Rock Cafe because they put them on their salads. I've been in love with them ever since. I eat them on salads. On Frosted Flakes. In cookies. Or right out of the bag. Bittersweet deliciousness.

• PRETZEL THINS!I kept getting these on airplanes, but could never find them in the "real world." Eventually I noticed that Pepperidge Farms was making them. This means they are really expensive, but they are also delicious. I go through a couple of boxes a week, which would make me feel bad... except they're fat-free, and that's pretty good isn't it? In any event, they're a nice change from "regular" pretzels.

And now I'm REALLY hungry, so I think I'll go rustle up something for dinner.

2) If you’ve never been much of a cranberry fan its probably because you haven’t tried my “special” cranberry sauce. I take out all of the pesky water the health nuts put in the recipe and replace it with rum and apple cider.

Dave, did you ever see the Cinnamon Frosted Flakes? They were on the shelves for a very limited time a few years ago, and ZOMG they were absolutely delish! Frosted Flakes are sweet anyway, right? But then you add the cinnamon sweetness??!! *droool* … one box didn’t last more than a few days in the naranek household! (Un)fortunately I don’t see ’em anymore, so either Chicagoland was a (failed) test site, or they pulled the product for some reason. :(

Stop excavating mah mind! I was JUST having a convo wiff a friend about how derrrrricious Alecia Beth Moore Lady apples are! And I love all the other stuff too! Can I come over to your house for Thanksgiving since I assume THAT’s what you eat on all occasionz!

Don’t know if these are cheaper than Pepperidge Farms, but they are excellent and have several delicious flavors, although I prefer the plain ones with hummus or onion dip: http://www.pretzelcrisps.com/

So, I got myself a Pink Lady today, based on your recommendation… I still think that Honeycrips are better, although Braeburn or Fuju are my go-to apples. The Pink Lady seemed a bit mealy for my taste, although I will grant you that it could have been that one bad apple. I’ll try another next week, though. OK with you?
